No San Antonio Spurs player is more qualified than De’Aaron Fox to speak out on the moment that went viral because it offended Hispanic fans.

After a woman messaged him during a game at Frost Bank Center about “crazy Hispanic fans” asking how they could afford to attend home games, Fox commented on the incident following a 134–119 win against the Indiana Pacers.

When asked about the incident, Fox responded, “My high school was 60 percent Hispanic. I’m from Texas.”

Although Fox was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, he grew up near San Antonio.

“I’m from Houston, man. I think it’s the most diverse city in the country,” the two-time NBA All-Star said. “What do you expect? It’s like going to Boston and complaining that there are a bunch of white people there. What kind of sense is that [make,] Like, it doesn’t make any sense.”

De’Aaron Fox calls on family to speak out about a fan’s message

Responding further on the video above, Fox talked about her family dynamics.

The former Sacramento King added, “My kids are one-quarter Mexican, so they’ll have to get used to it.” “My wife’s father’s side of the family is all black. My wife’s mother’s side is all Mexican. My mother-in-law was born in Mexico, so my kids are used to seeing that. All of her uncles are black, all of her uncles are Mexican.”

The video at the center of the controversy appears to be from during the Spurs game versus the Phoenix Suns. After two nights against the Pacers, many San Antonio had already turned the message into a rallying cry. Fans in the stands wore shirts that read, “Crazy Hispanic Fans.” Others in the crowd were waving Mexican flags to show their pride.

An inspiration through a huge business since February 2025, Fox has already integrated himself into the local community. On several occasions, he has organized programs for needy people in his new home. Asked about the importance of diversity to the city, team and community, Fox didn’t hesitate to share his thoughts about an area where people of Hispanic origin make up about 64% of the population.

Fox said, “For someone to complain about it, especially being in San Antonio, I don’t know why you would do that, why it would make any sense. It should be normalized.” “You’re going to see people who aren’t like you, who don’t look like you, who maybe have a different accent than you. And it’s not just a different accent as far as ethnicity is concerned. You go to California, you’re going to hear a different [accent,] Or you go to L.A., you’re going to hear a different accent than somebody from Dallas, or somebody from Boston, or somebody from Miami, somebody from Chicago. You’ll hear different accents. So at this point, you would think it would be normal, but it’s everyone’s own thing.”
